Printing a webpage

Hello,

I'm making a website and on a certain page I have a hyperlink called
'printversion'. When you click on it a new page opens with a printversion
(the same way like you there is in hotmail). But I want that when the page
opens, the printing console starts, the one like when you push ctrl + p.

Does someone knows a script for this in asp or vba?

thanks

Frederik

I use onload="window.print()" in the <body> tag of the printable page.
Fails gracefully in NN4, opens the printer properties sheet in other
browsers.

Hello,

I tried the script and it works, the computer loads the printing module. But
when i print something out he only prints images and text. Is there some
function so that both images, text and background colours are printed?

Hi Frederick,

I'm afraid that is something that you only have control over on your local
computer. It's a setting in Internet Explorer, which is turned off by
default. You can change it by going into IE's Tools||Internet
Options|Advanced.

That is browser specific. The browser must be set up to print background
images and colours.
In IE6: Tools -> Options -> Advanced and scroll down to the Printing
section.
